Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 84 No One Averts Their Eyes

On Monday morning, there is a major class in the department.

After class, Zhuang Xiaomeng rushed to the back door and stopped Tang Shu.

Most of the students in the former Class 1 of Senior 3 of No. 1 Middle School are now in University A. Coincidentally, the girl in the front row, Zhuang Xiaomeng, happens to be in the same department as Tang Shu.

Tang Shu lived a low-key life, rarely interacted with others at school, and was notoriously unattainable.

But because of their previous relationship, he was still quite friendly towards Zhuang Xiaomeng and usually talked to her a few more words.

For this reason, people often invite her to various parties through Zhuang Xiaomeng.

So, Tang Shu shook her head before Zhuang Xiaomeng could speak.

“I’m not going…”

"Don't bother me!"

Zhuang Xiaomeng grabbed Tang Shu's arm and pestered her.

"I really need your help this time! We used to be high school classmates, the daughter of the richest man, awesome, right? She came back last week and asked everyone to get together tonight. An old classmate heard that I know the campus beauty of A University, and insisted that I bring you along..."

The daughter of the richest man...Shang Shang is back?

Tang Shu's attitude finally relaxed and she motioned for Zhuang Xiaomeng to continue.

Xiao Meng saw that there was a chance, so she immediately started begging and pleading.

"Okay Shushu, just go with me, and let me be proud of myself for once! At worst, I can help you with the lab records for this semester, okay?"

"This is what you said~"

Tang Shu nodded reluctantly.

The dinner gathering of Class 1, Grade 3 was held at Oriental Plaza, a newly opened five-star hotel.

In the rooftop restaurant, Tang Shu followed Zhuang Xiaomeng into the innermost private room.

As soon as she entered the door, everyone at the table turned around and looked at her at the same time.

They were all familiar faces, and Tang Shu took the initiative to greet them with a smile.

Seeing that this campus beauty from University A was not at all arrogant, everyone instantly felt much friendlier to her.

"Hello, my name is Li Jingshang."

Li Jingshang stretched out his right hand, looked at Tang Shu's smiling face, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Tang Shu went up to her and gave her a hug.

"Hello, Shang Shang~ Nice to see you~"

At this time, Liu Ying next to him said in a weird tone,

"Tsk, is this school beauty so outgoing? Or is she so good at making money? She calls me so intimately as soon as we meet, Shang Shang..."

Tang Shu turned her head and saw that it was her, and she couldn't help laughing.

Some people are straightforward and can remain the same for years without thinking when speaking. Isn't this evidence that they are living a good life?

She didn't reply, but turned around and hugged her.

Liu Ying: ...

His face was red all night long and he didn't dare to look at Tang Shu again.

A table of old classmates were chatting, and naturally, the topic revolved around those few focal figures.

"Eh? Have you heard? Ming Ruoxi confessed to Zhang Li in public at her birthday party last month, but...she was rejected again."

"Of course I know. Miss Ming is really affectionate. It's a pity that she can't get a response."

"But I can understand that. That's Zhang Li."

"I don't know why he suddenly dropped out of school to start his own business. I even laughed at him behind his back... What happened? In just a few years, he has opened more than a dozen bars and clubs... He is really the ceiling for our generation."

"Who said it wasn't true? And Master Gu, who used to hand in blank papers in every exam, managed to get into the business school of University A based on his own strength. He could have been a spendthrift playboy, but he had to rely on his strength to make us sleepless."

"Ah, when I think about how good they are, how hardworking they are, and how handsome they are, I eat more..."

"Speaking of Mr. Gu, didn't he say he would come today? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

The squad leader sitting opposite took a look at his phone and answered immediately.

"We're already there. They said they'd park downstairs."

Tang Shu, who had been looking down like a vase, suddenly had a glance and finally looked at Li Jingshang.

He said hello to Zhuang Xiaomeng and said, "I'm going to go out for a while."

After walking out of the private room, I headed straight toward the exit along the corridor.

Get in the elevator and run.

*

Gu Chiqi and Ming Ruoxi met in the underground parking lot and entered the elevator together.

The sightseeing elevator is transparent on three sides. It goes out from the parking lot and slowly rises to the top floor.

"Hey, you've become more and more successful recently~"

Ming Ruoxi smiled and joked, "My parents scold me whenever they get the chance, saying that I don't know how to cherish you and that I made them miss out on such a good son-in-law."

Gu Chiqi raised his chin slightly, leaned against the metal guardrail, and smiled noncommittally.

"Don't harm me, go harm your Zhang Li."

When Ming Ruoxi mentioned Zhang Li, she became gentle. She asked doubtfully,

"Come to think of it, I don't remember a lot of things back then. How did we break off our engagement?"

"Never mind, it's just a personality clash or something like that..."

As Gu Chiqi was speaking casually, an elevator came down from the right hand side and the two elevators passed each other.

He glanced to the right and saw Tang Shu's profile.

The whole person felt like being electrocuted.

"Stop! Press stop now!"

Gu Chiqi leaned against the elevator glass and looked down, pressing the floor buttons randomly.

Ming Ruoxi looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Why are you convulsing?"

He finally opened the elevator door and Gu Chiqi rushed out like a gust of wind.

Kick open the door to the emergency exit and run down the stairs.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He just glanced at the girl in the elevator opposite and suddenly his eyes were filled with tears.

A voice in his head was screaming at him.

Go after her! Go after her!

*

No one was using the elevator at this time, so Tang Shu went down to the first floor lobby without any obstruction.

When I came out of the hotel, I didn't know it started to drizzle outside.

The spring rain is fine and gentle, and there is no tree that does not love it.

But humans are ignorant of local customs and only know how to honk their horns impatiently during the rainy and congested evening rush hour.

Tang Shu walked to the roadside outside the hotel and waited for a taxi in the drizzle.

Next to it is the bustling Wangfujing, and the huge LED advertising screen facing the street in the shopping mall is focused on a watch brand.

There was a time when I wanted to dedicate it to you - Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Tang Shu looked back suddenly.

A small white car stopped across the street. Zhang Li opened the door and got out, then looked up at the advertisement on the opposite side.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is the brand of the old watch on his wrist.

He leaned against the big locust tree behind him and lowered his head to light a cigarette.

The bluish-white smoke could not take shape in the drizzle, and the municipal street lights above the head lit up in an instant without making any sound.

The world suddenly brightened, and Tang Shu and Zhang Li looked across the road at the same time.

The same casual gazes met in mid-air.

Cars drove by one by one, like an Oppenheimer-style time-lapse photography.

No one looked away.

*

"Shushu, what are you doing standing here?"

Tang Shu turned around and saw Zhuang Xiaomeng.

She came to her senses, lowered her head and walked over.

Zhuang Xiaomeng pulled her into her car.

"Everyone said they were going to the bar, so I came to invite you to join us. Are you ready to go back?"

"Well, I can't drink, so it's no fun to go."

"Come on, let's go play together. There's a new nightclub X opened at Gongti. It's really interesting. It's full of handsome guys... I promise not to let you touch any alcohol!"

"Gongti X?"

It seems that Ning Hao works there, so I can go and visit him.

Thinking of this, Tang Shu nodded and agreed.

*

Gu Chiqi stood at the entrance of the hotel and watched the car drive away.

The squad leader glanced at him hesitantly from behind and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"It's really you, Mr. Gu! We have already changed to the next game, why are you here just now?"

Gu Chiqi glanced at him, lacking interest.

The monitor pointed at Zhuang Xiaomeng's car and said, "Hey, your A University's campus beauty is here today too~"

The campus beauty of University A?

Gu Chiqi has never paid much attention to these gossip topics. He has no interest in beautiful women.

Seeing his confused look, the squad leader handed him his cell phone, which showed the photos taken in the private room just now.

Tang Shu sat obediently beside Li Jingshang, looking up at her and listening to her talk, looking so gentle and kind.

Gu Chiqi's eyes lit up. Isn't this the girl in the elevator just now?

"Let's go, why are you standing still?"

He kicked the squad leader and went to the basement to pick up the car.
